It’s KCMetropolis Day! I had one show left to review for 2012—the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra‘s holiday concert this coming Friday—but KCMetropolis decided to be “dark” next week to give everyone a break, so instead I bumped up my coverage to be a preview/interview with KCJO’s artistic director Kerry Strayer. I’m still excited to see the show! Should be really good—its guest artist for this one is Kansas native and Grammy nominee Karrin Allyson. Read my full preview on KCMetropolis.org: INTERVIEW: Kerry Strayer, KC Jazz Orchestra’s artistic director

And there is lots more KC metro performing arts coverage to find on KCMetropolis.org today, too! Thanks for reading.
